Luxman Audio Gear - what is happening with them here in USA

I would like to throw this out to the group and just simply ask a question about what is happening with their distribution here in the US. This company has been around for awhile and has made some great strides recently to get back into the high end audio marketplace with some great products. However, I have heard that the US Distribution has changed, and leaves me to wonder what is this company's direction, where would I get something of their fixed here in the US and what is their future ?  Some of their stuff is not cheap but makes me wonder about there future here in the US and should I hold off considering buying their products. Responses would be appreciated.....

The prices for 2017 have dropped. For example, the C900u preamp was $20K and now $15K, same for the matching amp. I had the 2017 price list emailed to me from the new distributer, jeff.sigmund@luxmanamerica.com.  They are trying to have similar prices in all parts of the world.

I heard the C900u preamp (with Luxman monoblocks $60k) at the LA Audio Show in June 2017 at the previous Luxman distributer's room. It sounded awesome. My next amp and preamp will be the 900 series Luxmans.

Thank you gentleman and especially you yyzsantabarbara for an inside look at the current pricing. I live about 2 hours from Ballston Spa which is right outside of Saratoga, NY and an absolutely beautiful area in central / western NY. Real close to the race track.

Count me among Luxman's fans.
mountainsong, that L-590AX that I bought from you in February is some of the best money I've ever spent, the sound is stunning. Everyone that has heard it has been amazed.
Thanks again.

I am anticipating luxman es1200 power conditioner. It seems to compete with accuphase's power conditioner. I hope the price would be as good as that in asia.
